James, only in MacBooks with the multi-touch trackpad, which at this point is the Pro line. I wouldn't worry to much about the battery honestly. If you have a store or authorized service center near you, it is very easy to change the battery if necessary. Actually you could replace it yourself if you can get the battery. One of the reasons Apple went this route is do to the fact they can save space and weight by using this type of cell, which is packaged differently than how the removable packs are constructed. THis means less packaging to house the battery cells, means greater ability to offer more quantity of juice with less weight. Thus the cells are not housed in a package that is as durable to consumer consumption. I think you will slowly, but surely see more manufacturers going this route. Dell in fact has gone the non-replaceable battery in its top-of-the-line notebook offering. Just thought I'd give some info on the rationale for this type of battery.
